    Gulfcoastguy & Tspud1 ; what kind of neighborhoods do people live in where there is such a thing as porch pirates?  I know all my neighbors and they me. There is always someone outside with relaxing on their porch or doing yard work or playing with the kids eyes everywhere.

    Plus the fact that everyone owes me a favor or 2 yes they have all kissed my pinky ring.
    LOL

    Seriously, if you were to go away on vacation and entered this exchange wouldn't you tell the elf or the group hey dont send anything till I return? Im sure they are just caught up with life and haven't had the time to post yet.

    Big thanks to @gonepostal for the box. Everything arrived intact. All of the rubs and sauces are ones I have never had before. Thanks for the SPG, one can never have enough of those in the cabinet. I’m looking forward to trying all of these and will post updates on how we like them. 
    Awesome assortment! 

    Grab that Hardin's and make chicken wings. Seriously...good stuff

    @ColtsFan makes me smile that you mention Hardin's all the way from Indiana. The co-owner of the company lived on my mail route until passing away suddenly about a month ago. He talked about Hardin's every chance he got and I can promise you that he would have been thrilled to hear about you praising his rub! I'll be sure to relay this story to his wife...

    Great and no exploding sauce bottles unlike 2017. Like I said most of the rubs and sauces have websites on the labels and most of the sites have recipes worked up for them. And you used a cast iron grate for bonus points.

    The box was so full I was worried that there might be a mess inside. The bubble wrap and tape held!

    You totally killed it. Very grateful!
    It's a 302 thing . . .

    Great looking boxes so far. Can't believe @Gulfcoastguy got all that to fit in one box.

    Blown fhe F away by @Gulfcoastguy. Amazing box of local Mississippi rubs and sauces. And he figured out that I’ve got a serious Louisiana thing and packed in some regional treats as well. Mississippi goodies with a Cajun influence — all things we can’t get in The 302, so I’m completely payched. 

    Amazing stuff here:



    I used the AlbuKirky Green Chile Rub tonight on some skirt steak. That stuff rocks. Never had it before and appreciate the share from out of his own region. 



    And, the letter with the descriptions of all the goodness was a treat to read. Lots of thought put into this box. A tribute to @Gulfcoastguy and what’s best about the forum. 
    Great Post !

    Yup I helped build a few of them, along with rest areas, weigh stations, bypasses, sewage plants, and even a section of the Natchez Trace Parkway and a minor amount of the Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway .

    Just sent my box out. Lady at the post office had a high speed come apart about the box. For next year, are there cheaper options than usps?

    I think the Usps flat rate is pretty reasonable. 
    Wisconsin, lbge, MM, kab, pig tail flippers, bear claws, and more rubs than I will admit to.
